16 My pitiful state does not afflict my heart,
My destiny is seeing with the eyes of poverty.
But whenever I meditate on Thee, joy comes to me,
Thy form always enchants my heart.
Tired am I, yet full of anxious expectation,
Waiting for Thee in every single moment.
Dependant am I Mother on Thy love.
I am Thy child, save me or not. Do as Thou wish.

17

My fate always torments me with the utmost cruelty.
Even the Wish-fulfilling Tree, bestowing all desires,
When approached by me, barren like the shallowart tree.
Intelligence and knowledge are of no avail to me,
Yet worries cannot trouble me. I know no fear,
Since Thou, the genuine Wish-fulfilling Tree
Art sitting face to face with me.

18

O Lakshmi with the shinning lotus eyes,
Bless this Thy slave with Initiation.
O Lovely One, just with a little glance
Bestow on me Thy Blessing's Grace
O Mother of the World, pleasing and cheerful,
Before Thee all my troubles fade away.
O fountain of True Knowledge,
Comforting those who seek Thy shelter,
Grant rescue also to Thy troubled son.

19

Thou art the moonlight, Mother, Thou alone
Shineth in the pure light of the blazing sun.
The radiance of the stars is Thy reflection.
Thou art the burning ardour of the fire,
In water, soft fluidity Thou art.
Thou art the Earth, upholding all Creation,
Unrivalled is Thy Power's splendour.
As Vishnu's Shakti Thou upholdeth and blesseth the world.

20

Mine eyes are not as fortunate as to behold Thy sight,
But Mother, if Thou would'st only melt with mercy,
Even Thy vision would be easy to obtain.
Here in this world of vanities,
Thou art the Everlasting Powerful Essence,
Mother Thou art the Absolute Sovereign of this world.
Queen of the Universe, grant me protection.

21

Devotion to Thy lotus-feet ever bestow a stream of joy.
For even Heaven and Earth will pass away!
As Ganga Thou art purifying the world,
O pour the nectar of affectionate Grace on me.
An endless stream of miserable sinner and creatures,
O Tarita, have been redeemed by Thee.
Tara, Thou art the Empress of the World
Who ferries will across, save also me.

22

Brothers and sisters, sons and daughters,
Companions and intimate friends:
Beloved spouse, all kith and kin,
All these and all the other bonds of love
Which tie us firmly to this world,
Man must give up. They are untrue.
Thou Mother art the only Real Support.

23

O Mother, Full of Mercy.
Save me poor beggar, for compassion's sake.
Errant and bewildered in Karma's Jungle,
My heart is spellbound by the mirage of illusion.
The flames of worry burn me day night.
O Mother glance at me. Thou look'st so quiet.
I have no means and I depend on Thee.
Come, have compassion!

24

Thou art the Mistress of this World.
So how can I be called an orphan?
When Thy strong Energy is resting on my head,
How can Thy slave be weak?
Thou art bestower of prosperity and joy.
So how can poverty be mine?
Thou art the refuge for all seekers,
O Mother Lakshmi, cheering and serene!

25

I do not praise Thee in my heart, nor do I serve Thee.
Forgetful, I do not repeat Thy Holy Names.
Thy lotus-feet reached by the yogis in deep meditation.
How can I ever hope to behold them with my common eyes?
Thou hast saved sinners who deep in the ocean of existence
Remembered Thee a single time.
O Sovereign of the Worlds, do not forget me.
Quickly, be pleased with me!

26

He whose tongue is not engaged in repetition of Thy Name,
Whose mind is not set firm in meditation,
He who has no ear for the sweet nectar of Thy worshipper's narration,
Who has not fixed his mind on worship of Thy lotus-feet's radiant nails.
How can he ever have devotion for the Holy Feet of Him
Whose shelter Sri Mahendra Maharaj has taken?

27

Grant me Thy Holy Sight to satisfy mine eyes with bliss.
Entangled in the world of daily life,
My heart is in distress
I am Thy child and have no patience.
Most hidden is Thy path in deepest jungle,
Therefore I know it not.
O Mother, be my guide, show me the path.
My Queen, I am dependent on Thy Grace.

28

Thou art the Light that animates the world.
Able to grant Thy blessing in an instant.
Continuously the yogis contemplate Thee in their hearts,
As the pure form of Ultimate Awareness
Merciful Mother, in an instant
Thou doth bestow the nectar of Thy Grace?
Why dost Thou still delay my Queen?
Save me this very moment!

29

Discard your worries, mind!
Remember in your heart That Mother!
She is All-present: in the house and in the forest.
She is behind, in front, inside, outside.
Her Name, drink as the Elixir my friend,
She gives you Ultimate Contentment.
No other than She in Her abundant mercy
Knows the afflictions of your heart.

30

O Parvati Redeemer of the poor,
Thou art the ferryboat for those who seek Thy shelter,
And with Thy grace many poor sinners
Reached the other shore.
O Mother known as Queen of Wealth,
Grant me today the boon of Thy refuge.
Abandoning Thee, O Mother full of Mercy,
Tell me, who other than Thee shall give me shelter?
